Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

Ok, but WiFi connection isn't strong enough so how about connecting them by a cable, which transports the data...
I love this idea. We could use a rigid metal that conducts sound waves. Steel maybe?
As for the data cable, we would need something to control the taillights, so I'm thinking just a basic set up with copper wire wrapped in an insulator?
This is so crazy it might just work.
You people are utterly convinced you're enlightened geniuses that have figured it all out, aren't you?
The use case for this is vehicles that are lacking the range or towing capacity for the trailer, allowing the driver to own a small, efficient vehicle, and rent the tow bot a few times a year when they actually need it.
